Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount
It's a fantastic roof rack, which I use above my truck bed. I recently bought a second one so I can take my road bike and gravel bike with me on my camping trips.
Mounted nicely on my Rhino racks and holds our nikes well. Easy to load and unload.

Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum - Black and Polished Chrome
Installed all products after having watched videos and read through pdf instructions. The Yakima JetStream roof rack system is outstanding (with one exception) - instructions and videos facilitated the installation. The Yakima system is the only one I could find for my car (Mercedes E450 Coupe), as the car's panorama roof glass extends to the edges near the fixed mounts. The Yakima system is quiet, thanks to the ability to modify the crossbar pitch angles, and has a high-quality appearance that complements my car. And it is rock solid. The Kuat Trio bike tray is an outstanding low-cost, simple solution - well-designed and well-executed and installs to the Yakima JetStream bars flawlessly. I would recommend that Kuat include a 12mm x 100mm thru-axle in the Trio kit, as I had to purchase that part separately. Only disappointment is in the Yakima Landing Pad Covers that ship with the Landing Pad 22 (LP 22) kit. The covers do not snap tightly into place, and appear as if they were designed for a different Landing Pad. In summary, my Yakima/Kuat bicycle roof rack system exceeds expectations (except for the LP 22 Covers), operates flawlessly, looks great, and stores easily. It has given me high confidence in Yakima, in Kuat and in etrailer.com. Well done.
Product arrived quickly, and with all the necessary parts and pieces. Installation was quick and easy, and the product performs exactly as I had hoped.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
I bought a couple of these for my new OEM VW roof rack with elliptical bars for my 01 Jetta. They fit nice, are made better than expected, and were easy to install, requiring only a 10mm and 12mm ratchet. I will be retrofitting thule lock cores into the the locking knobs on these bike carriers so that i can match the key to my roof rack. I haven't had a chance to put a bike on them yet, but will definitely be taking a bike ride this weekend.
Great product for the price. Pretty easy to set up. Only issue I have is my mountain bike, which is an XL frame with 27 inch wheels, is pushing the limits of the base. Wish this rack was just 4-5 inches longer that way you have the perfect overlap amount in the middle without pushing the current frame to the limits. With that said it does hold my bike just have to find the sweet spot. But this fits my son’s youth bike perfectly!
